About the show:
Based off the book Sadako and the Thousand Cranes by Eleanor Coerr, a popular children’s non-fiction book ,this play tells the story of Sadako, a young girl who lived through the devastating nuclear bombing in Hiroshima, Japan. The play is centered on the ancient Japanese tradition of folding paper cranes, and how that tradition helps Sadako find herself. I think this play is incredibly poignant in the world we live in today, both in its historical relevance and the message it delivers. As is written on the base of the statue of Sadako, holding a golden crane, “This is our cry, this is our prayer, peace in the world.” This production will have a one night only performance but will otherwise be performed at local public schools and after school programs.
About the company:
Create. Inspire. Change. Theatre Corporation started when Daniel Hutchins IV (producing artistic director) produced and directed an outreach-oriented production of Disney’s On the Record. His aim was not only to have the show performed for the paying public, but to also have it performed for children in the Boston area who would not normally have the means to see a live performance. The “always chase your dreams” theme of the show proved that the most important part of the “creative” process was “inspiring” the local children to never lose their imaginations or themselves as unique individuals and to “change” the stigma of theater being financially unavailable to most urban children; thus forming the name of our company.
